'Better Call Saul' will debut in February 2015, according to AMC

'Better Call Saul,' a spin-off of the acclaimed AMC TV show 'Breaking Bad,' will debut in February 2015, according to a recent clip from the network. 'Better Call Saul' will feature actor Bob Odenkirk reprising his 'Breaking Bad' role as attorney Saul Goodman.

As for whether “Saul” will take place during time periods other than its 2002 setting, Gilligan commented on the possibility during the TCA press tour, according to IndieWire. “We like jumping around in time," Gilligan said. "I would definitely point you in the direction that anything that's possible in the world of 'Breaking Bad' is possible."

Gilligan’s show “Bad” is nominated for various Emmy Awards this year for its final season, including Best Drama Series, Best Actor in a Drama Series (Bryan Cranston), Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Aaron Paul), and Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Anna Gunn), among other nods. “Bad” will face off for Best Drama Series against shows such as fellow AMC program “Mad Men,” “Game of Thrones,” and “True Detective.” The Emmy Awards will air on Aug. 25.
